Thread: Different version of Gala Oriental -Sahira

I tried posting this in response to an old thread but it is not showing up.

I found another version of the Horatio and Beata song that is on their Oriental Fantasy, vol 10.

Its a version by Aboud Abdel Al. Perhaps the original version? I've known the song as Loubet el Hob, but the Aboud Abdel Al version is labeled Sahira.

It's available on etunes, amazon and maqam has a download.

The Sahira version is about 1 minute longer than Gala Orientale.

Interesting! I recently found their "Enchanted Mimi" as _______(disc is in the car) on Sayed Balaha's Hamada CD.

There is an even older version by Farouk Salame, but do not know the name of the CD on which it appears.

What was the song called?

I think it may be "Soiree Orientale."

I can't find anything available as a CD or download. Driving me crazy. So who do you think the original composer was?
